Oi!

You should think of a myspace account as a funny tshirt slogan, and myspace as a pub, and the other people on it as coils of wire, pulsing slightly as they whisper the names of the dead.

You should think of a facebook account as your face, and facebook as a huge mincing machine, and the other people on it as a huge dead mass exerting their gravitional pull on you from just behind the mincing blades.

You should think of a twitter as a little plate with some kitchen roll spread out on it and dampened and each twitter account as a single spire of cress slowly rising out of it and each comment on it as some kind of cancerous growth on your stalk and your twitter feed is where your growths and some of your neighbours growths intertwine and draw you nearer even though the last thing you ever wanted to do was be near them or anyone else anywhere in the world, and especially not on this plate, on this window ledge by the back door.

and then I go and spoil it all by saying something evil like "I bum crow"

I started a spinoff Youtube channel for quickly done daft low-effort stuff. It is called Garbage Night, after a famous catchphrase used in that one infamous terrible horror film from the 80s. I think Vom may know the one. Anyway, here are all the videos on it so far

In addition to this, I made an online browser game as part of a game jam. It is the first game jam I have ever done, and the game isn't great but I at least completed something. Actually it was technically the second jam I've done but with the first one I couldn't get it together and had to withdraw from it. The only condition of this jam was that it have the ludicrous American TV psychologist Dr. Phil in it. It's all faux-retro and that. I get the feeling that the jam was made entirely as a joke but I thought it would be good if someone actually made at least one game for such a stupid premise. Here's the link.

it always amazes me that somehow andy capp was printed in american newspapers or whatever

He was popular enough in America at one point that there's a brand of chipsticks there called "Andy Capp's Hot Fries", which I think are seasoned with chilli or something.

also i would have assumed the star wars text one was something you'd written

In case you missed the description, it's from textfiles.com, which is full of bizarre pre-web / early internet stuff that various people have written, some of whom were apparently maniacs. Here's the page with that story on, along with other stuff:
